| 新形势下,积极应对人口老龄化问题,离不开数字技术的驱动。 一方面,数字技术在应对人口
老龄化问题中,通过技术赋能老年人、提质养老服务业、增效社会治理,深刻重塑养老的内涵与模式;另一
方面,部分老年群体对数字技术“不适应”,在使用新信息技术的机会和能力上存在差异,引发老年人“数
字鸿沟”的社会问题。 本文从马斯诺的需求层次理论客观分析了数字技术满足老年人的健康安全需要、
精神心理需要、自我发展需要和社会参与需要的显著优势,探讨了数字时代老年群体面临的数字失能、数
字配适、信息泛滥、数字学习和数字碎片化的挑战,基于此,从宏观、中观和微观层面,提出政府、市场、社
会、家庭、个人等多方主体共同营造科技与人文相融合的老年友好型数字社会的具体举措,为应对“数字
鸿沟”提供切实可行的借鉴。 |

| Abstract: |
| Under new circumstances, proactively addressing population aging necessitates the impetus of
digital technology. On one hand, digital technology profoundly reshapes the connotation and model of elderly
care by empowering the elderly, improving the quality of elderly care services, and enhancing social governance
efficiency in tackling population aging. On the other hand, part of the elderly population struggles with
adaptation to digital technology, creating disparities in both their access to and ability to use new information
technologies, which results in the social issue of a “digital divide” among the elderly. Grounded in Maslow’ s
hierarchy of needs theory, this paper objectively analyzes the significant advantages of digital technology in
fulfilling older adults’ needs for health and safety, mental and psychological well-being, self-development, and
social participation. It explores the challenges faced by the elderly in the digital era, including digital
incompetence, digital adaptation, information overload, digital learning, and digital fragmentation. Building on
these insights, the paper proposes specific measures for creating an age-friendly digital society that harmonizes
technology with humanistic values. These measures involve coordinated action at macro, meso, and micro levels
by multiple stakeholders, including governments, markets, society, families, and individuals, thereby offering
actionable insights for bridging the digital divide. |
