Status Analysis,Attribution Inference and Relief Strategies of"Digital Inclusion"of the Elderly——Based on the Analysis of CGSS 2021
As the digital era goes hand in hand with the ageing era,the elderly is in a digitally disadvantaged position,and the research on"digital inclusion"of the elderly is imperative.In this study,the core dependent variable of"digital inclusion"of the eld-erly is decomposed into three sub-dependent variables:the surface inclusion of digital usage willingness,the middle inclusion of digital usage ability and the deep inclusion of digital usage recognition.Based on the data from the 2021 Chinese General Social Survey,the current status of"digital inclusion"of the elderly with different characteristics is measured in each of the three variables above.Based on the attribution theory,it is believed that there are two practical reasons for the"digital inclusion"of the elderly,namely,self-iden-tity dilemma and insufficient social support.Therefore,the solutions of promoting self-identity enhancement of the elderly through"dig-ital training and peer effect"and building an elderly-friendly digital society with"digital feedback and policy effect"are proposed re-spectively.
