多元治理视角下老年数字鸿沟弥合路径探索
Exploration of Paths to Bridge the Digital Divide Among the Elderly from the Perspective of Multi-Governance

数字技术为人类带来了更高效、更便捷的生产生活方式，深刻改变并重塑了社会形态。但随着数字时代与人口老龄化的深度交叠，老年数字鸿沟问题却日益凸显。作为数字弱势群体，老年人面临数字接入、数字使用、数字产出三道鸿沟，难以融入数字社会。在精确识别老年数字鸿沟表现形式、具体成因的基础上，借助多元治理理论构建“政府引导–市场支持–社会参与–家庭反哺”的老年数字鸿沟弥合路径。从不同主体出发，提出推广数字化理念、完善数字基础设施建设、增加适老化数字产品和服务的供给、营造数字友好型社会氛围等具体举措，帮助老年人跨越数字鸿沟。
Digital technology has brought more efficient and convenient production and lifestyle to mankind, profoundly changing and reshaping the social form. However, with the deep overlap between the digital age and the aging of the population, the problem of the digital divide among the elderly has become increasingly prominent. As a digitally disadvantaged group, the elderly face three gaps in digital access, digital usage, and digital output, making it difficult for them to integrate into the digital society. On the basis of accurately identifying the manifestations and specific causes of the digital divide in the elderly, a multi-governance theory is used to construct a path to bridge the digital divide in the elderly through “government guidance-market support-social participation-family feedback”. Starting from different subjects, specific measures are proposed to promote digital concepts, improve digital infrastructure construction, increase the supply of aging-friendly digital products and services, and create a digital-friendly social atmosphere to help the elderly bridge the digital divide.
