摘要

由于信息通信技术的迅速普及和2019冠状病毒病的影响,老年人的数字鸿沟正在扩大。本研究旨在探讨城乡、性别和健康不平等对老年人DD的影响。首先,调查收集了城乡社区老年人(N = 624)的信息通信技术使用和DD数据。然后,构建了老年人DD的评价指标体系。采用熵权法(EWM)计算老年人的DD指标及其权重。其次,运用线性回归和层次回归分析城乡、性别和健康方面老年人DD的差异。最后,分析了访问划分(AD)、使用划分(UD)和知识划分(KD)的异质性。结果表明,农村社区老年人的DD和KD明显高于城市社区,主要原因是农村基础设施条件较差。此外,青年移徙工作也减少了代际支持的机会。老年女性的DD、AD和UD高于老年男性,因为老年女性在获取和使用数字技术方面受到更多限制。此外,老年人健康状况越差,AD和UD越高。关注城乡、性别和健康差异有助于弥合老年人的DD,对数字化包容性老龄化社会的可持续发展至关重要。

The Digital Divide of Older People in Communities: Urban-Rural, Gender, and Health Disparities and Inequities

The Digital Divide of Older People in Communities: Urban-Rural, Gender, and Health Disparities and Inequities

The digital divide (DD) of older people is widening due to the rapid adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT) and the effects of COVID-19. This study aims to explore the impact of urban-rural, gender, and health inequalities on the DD of older people. First, the survey collected data on the use of ICT and the DD of older people (N = 624) in urban-rural communities. Then, an evaluation index system for the DD of older people was constructed. The DD indices for older people and the weights of indicators can be calculated via the entropy weight method (EWM). Next, linear and hierarchical regressions were applied to analyze the disparities in the DD of older people in urban-rural areas, gender, and health. Finally, the heterogeneity of the access divide (AD), use divide (UD), and knowledge divide (KD) were analyzed. The results indicated that the DD and KD of older people in rural communities are significantly higher than those in urban communities, mainly because of the poor infrastructure conditions in rural areas. Moreover, the migration of youth to work also reduced opportunities for intergenerational support. DD, AD, and UD were higher for older females than for older males because older females are more restricted by access to and use of digital technology. In addition, the poorer the health of older people is, the higher the AD and UD. Focusing on urban-rural, gender, and health disparities helps bridge the DD among older people and is critical to the sustainable development of digitally inclusive aging societies.
