Research on the Protection of Rights for the Elderly in the Digital Age:Based on Sandra Fredman's Substantive Equality Perspective
The digital technology era has brought new opportunities for the lives of elderly people.However,in the process of applying and popularizing digital technology,inequalities and new risks inherent in digital life pose threats to the protection of the rights of the elderly.Analyzing the"digital divide"among the elderly through Fredman's framework of substantive equality reveals the reality of the insufficient adaptability of digital technology for the elderly,and even the inevitable result of inequality in resources and power.Therefore,the essence of protecting the rights of elderly people in the digital age lies in enhancing their digital capabilities by allocating learning resources reasonably and constructing fair participation mechanisms,thus reshaping the power dynamics in the digital space.The specific approach to ensuring the rights of the elderly in the digital age is as follows:strengthening digital legislation to eliminate direct threats to human rights,including age discrimination,and promoting the digital inclusion of the elderly through diverse collaboration and the mechanisms of fair responsibility.Ultimately,the long-term governance of an"aging+digital"society is achieved through intergenerational cooperation based on equal participation.
