South Korea is one of the digital pioneer countries with outstanding digital infrastructure. However, the digital divide is an issue, especially for older generations and it can exacerbate the social isolation of older adults in this era of digital transformation. Therefore, digital inclusion is necessary to ultimately achieve intergenerational solidarity. CONTENT This symposium is designed by the Ewha Institute for Age Integration Research (EIAIR) to present our recently conducted research on older adults' digital use. EIAIR aims to find novel ways to connect the young and the old to prevent the social isolation of older generations and achieve intergenerational solidarity. Digital inclusion is necessary to realize intergenerational solidarity in this rapidly changing society. The presentations show various attempts to improve older adults' digital literacy and promote intergenerational exchange in the digital world. STRUCTURE Hajin Lee and colleagues first present the development process of a mobile application 'Welsh' and the effect of the use of the application in improving older adults' digital literacy. The application was developed for improving older adults' access to senior welfare centers information that was initiated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Second, Hannah Lee and co-authors examine the benefits of using mobile instant messaging to express negative emotions among older adults using a national data. Finally, So-Young Park and co-author present eHealth literacy in South Korea. CONCLUSION To achieve intergenerational solidarity, we need to try a variety of attempts including digital literacy training, developing applications, and online content designed to encourage participation and collaboration across all age groups. Through active participation in the exchange of information and opinions in the digital world, people can understand each other more and a sustainable aging society can be realized. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: abstract proceedings Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
