【摘要】 在老龄化与数字化的双重背景下，银发数字鸿沟对农村老年人幸福感的影响亟待关注。本文基于山东省1174位农村老年人的调研数据，探究银发数字鸿沟对农村老年人幸福感的影响效应和作用机制。研究发现：银发数字鸿沟显著降低农村老年人幸福感，这一结论在经过内生性和稳健性检验后依旧成立。进一步研究表明，银发数字鸿沟主要通过抑制社会网络进而负向影响农村老年人的幸福感。异质性分析发现，银发数字鸿沟对于低龄、文化水平较高、子女数字反哺和经济支持程度较高的农村老年人幸福感的影响作用更为显著。据此提出，加强数字基础设施建设、建立数字素养培育体系、增强子女数字反哺能力和拓展农村老年人社会网络等政策建议。更多还原

【Abstract】 Against the backdrop of both aging and digitalization, the impact of the silver-hair digital divide onthe happiness of rural elderly people deserves an urgent attention. Based on the survey data of 1,174 ru-ral elderly people in Shandong Province, this study explores the influence and mechanism of the the silver-hair digital divide on the happiness of rural elderly people. The research finds that the silver-hair dig-ital divide significantly reduces the happiness of rural elderly people, and this conclusion remains validafter endogeneity and robustness tests. The mechanism indicates that the digital divide among the elderlymainly negatively affects their happiness by inhibiting the formation of social networks. Heterogeneity a-nalysis reveals that the impact of the digital divide on the happiness of rural elderly people is more signifi-cant for those who are younger, have a higher education level, receive more digital support from theirchildren. Based on these findings, suggestions are proposed, such as promoting the construction of basichardware facilities, establishing a digital literacy cultivation system, enhancing children’s awareness ofdigital support for the elderly, and expanding the social networks of rural elderly people. The researchconclusions can provide reference for actively responding to population aging and enhancing the sense ofgain and happiness of rural elderly people.更多还原
