Abstract

This paper is based on the Seventh National Population Census Bulletin and the author's two years of experience working in a charitable organization in Shanghai, China. This paper aims to describe three trends- urbanization, digitalization of urban areas, and aging population-in China, and the problems the society, especially the elderly, is facing when these three inevitable tendencies intersect. The PEST model is used to analyze and describe the problem above. In the PEST model in this paper, different solutions were listed. In the PEST model, the author puts forward corresponding policy suggestions from the perspectives of politics (public administration), economy (fiscal and consumption problems of the elderly in the digital city), society (the life of the elderly under the epidemic policy), and technology (the use of digital products by the elderly). In terms of administration, a certain number of staff should be kept helping the elderly in governmental offices, or special passes should be opened for the elderly. Economically, protect the labor rights of the elderly and participate in their capable work. Keep offline consumption scenarios going and carry out aging adaptation. From a social perspective, it will facilitate the lives of the elderly in the epidemic era and reduce the nucleic acid code information procedure. Increase the mobile phone use education for the elderly from the perspective of science and technology.
