Abstract
Accelerating the digital integration of the elderly is a new demand and an important element of the digital society to promote active aging. Using literature analysis and field research, this paper analyzes the dilemma and formation process of digital integration of older people in the aging process from the perspective of digital economy, and tries to propose specific strategies to improve the current dilemma of digital integration of older people. The results show that active aging has prompted the elderly to join the digital wave, and the digital divide is mainly analyzed from the “access side” and “use side”, and the dilemma can be solved from the top-level government design, family feeding, quality improvement and technological innovation.
