Intergenerational Support and Digital Media Use: A Cross-sectional Analysis from the Longitudinal Study of Aging in China

Ruifeng Qie; Shoukui Cui

Abstract

This study examined how intergenerational support influences digital media use among Chinese older adults, considering socioeconomic status and urban-rural distinctions. Using data from the China Longitudinal Aging and Society Social Survey, the results suggest that intergenerational support is crucial for addressing the digital divide. However, its efficacy is influenced by socioeconomic factors, resulting in different impacts between urban and rural areas. These findings raise concerns that intergenerational support could potentially worsen the digital divide.
