Digital Media and the Daily Lives of China’s Senior Citizens

Guo provides a comprehensive outlook of how digital media is transforming the daily lives of senior citizens in China.

The book explores the important role digital media play in senior citizens' daily lives and the disparities of third agers' digital well-being. It applies the concepts of digital capital and individualisation to China and uses a combination of qualitative research including interviews with seniors and focus groups, with recent data on media use, aging, and demography. Its fieldwork with seniors conducted in a second-tier city of China provides insights on how the process of digitalisation has transformed seniors' daily lives.

A valuable book for scholars and researchers in sociology, digital media, active aging population, gerontology, and China studies.
