초록

The primary purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of the digital literacy of the elderly, who are information have-nots, on their psychological wellbeing and life satisfaction. For this purpose, the investigators first classified digital literacy, one of core factors of digital divide, in various dimensions and examined the effects of its components on the psychological wellbeing and quality of life of the elderly. As the South Korean society has entered the stage of aged society, the need for higher welfare and quality of life for the elderly has become one of important axes in social welfare and emerged as a national task. The present study stresses that narrowing down the digital divide of the elderly and promoting their digital literacy can be the most important component of elderly welfare policies and critical national policy tasks for a super-aged society.
