The old is increasingly losing the opportunity of social integration. This is due to the loss of roles, family size reduction and retirement, and so on.
While the old’s spare time is increasing, the frequency of participation with family, friends, neighbors, and religious activities is gradually decreasing. And the satisfaction of life is gradually decreasing, too.
In addition, the rapid change of social and environmental situation into the information society makes the old people more distant from our society. And the old who has a relatively large digital divide can not help but be more alienated.
This study starts with the question of whether the access gap, the skill gap, and the usage gap in digital divide interfere with the social integration of the old.
In this study, the affecting factors of digital divide on social integration of the old was analyzed.
The results of the t-test and the one-way ANOVA on the factors affecting the digital divide of the old is as follows.
First, the digital divide of groups over 80 years old was greater than that of groups belows 80(t=2.697, p<.01). It can be seen that there is a special requirement for the solution of the digital divide for the olds.
Second, it was confirmed that the digital divide becomes larger as the final education level is lower(F=11.684, p<.05).
Third, the monthly average household income is the factor of digital divide. The group who earn less than one million won showed the larger digital divide(t=-3.375, p<.01). In the household income group of less than one million won, the digital divide will increase, and therefore it is necessary to examine the intervention plan for reducing the digital divide for the low income group.
But there was no significant difference in the difference in digital divide between the gender, the spouse, and the pocket money used by the monthly individual.
The results of the t-test and the one-way ANOVA on the factors affecting the social integration of the old is as follows.
First, gender showed higher social integration of women compared to men(t=-3.167, p<0.01). It shows that the loss of role of male elderly people leads to the loss of opportunities for social ties and community activities.
Second, the pocket money used by the monthly average individuals showed a higher level of social integration than those who use more than 300,000 won. This implies that the old should be able to use more than 300,000 won per month as pocket money, so that they can not be excluded from social integration.
The result of Pearson’s Correlation Analysis between social integration and the main variables was as follow; gender(r=-.226, p<.01), monthly average personal pocket money(r=.156, p<.05). And there was a significant correlation with the social integration; the information skill gap(r=-.167, p<.05), the information usage gap (r=-.195, p<.01), Internet use(r=-.200, p<.01), usage by purpose(r=-.150, p<.05).
On the other hand, Regression analysis of the effect of the digital divide on social integration showed a significant correlation(β=-.187, p<.01), but the change of R2 was very low at .035, so it would be difficult to secure validity. Therefore, it is necessary to redefine the variables to increase the explanatory power.
The conclusion of this study is,
First, the information skill gap of the old showed a negative correlation with their participation in social activities.
Second, information usage gap of the old showed negative correlation with their social ties.
Third, the information usage gap of the old showed a negative correlation with their participation in social activities.
However, it was difficult to guarantee the validity of the results because the explanatory power of all direct influences was low.
For the olds, the information access gap did not affect social ties and participation in social activities. And information skill gap did not affect social ties.
The old is pursuing integration with our society in various ways through their lives, and the influence of the digital divide on social integration may be insufficient. However, because of its characteristics, virtual space is very easy to start something new, has a temporal advantage, has little space constraint, and is also very cost effective. Therefore, it seems to be a very efficient and effective way to solve the digital divide as an alternative for social integration for the olds.
