Abstract

To address the digital divide among older adults in Mainland China, this study examines Hong Kong’s initiatives to promote digital inclusion of older adults based on a literature analysis approach. The study finds that Hong Kong has been effective in bridging the digital divide among the elderly by improving their digital access and encouraging them to use information technology. In Mainland China, the digital divide among the elderly can be addressed by strengthening the government’s leadership and comprehensive promotion, safeguarding the “digital rights” of the elderly, continuously improving the digital literacy of the elderly, and promoting the digital inclusion of the elderly and the young.
