The Relationship

BACKGROUND Ten years ago, an age-related digital divide was identified, where the elderly were a group of people at risk of losing the benefits of a digital society. Since then a 'new' generation of elderly has emerged. We are now updating previous studies on the relationship between self-assessed health and internet use by elderly persons. OBJECTIVE The two aims of this work are to find a relationship between self-assessed health and internet use by elderly people in European countries and to ascertain whether this relationship differs in countries with a more developed eHealth policy. METHODS Individual data from the SHARE survey version 6.0.0 published in 2017 for 18 countries are used. An ordered logistic regression is estimated for all the countries in the sample and for two subsets of countries which differ in their eHealth performance. RESULTS Results show that elderly people who use the internet tend to report better health status. The estimated coefficient equals 0.288 (p=0.00). This relationship is stronger in countries with higher eHealth performance where the estimated coefficient equals 0.413 (p=0.00). In countries with lower eHealth performance, that coefficient equals 0.148 (p=0.00). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that internet use is a determinant of self-assessed health among the elderly. There are lines for future research such as explaining 'why' and 'how' trust may influence the relationship between internet use and self-assessed health and examining the digital divide due to socioeconomic inequality.

ABSTRACTThis paper presents an analysis of access to social and health services of elderly people at three community and social service centres (CLSCs) in Montreal. Workers at the CLSCs were interviewed about service accessibility for elderly people in their neighbourhood. The elderly clientele of one CLSC, located in the centre of Montreal, primarily consists of French-Canadians and English-Canadians; the second CLSC is in a neighbourhood with many elderly Portuguese and the third CLSC is in a neighbourhood where a large concentration of elderly Chinese people live. No problems of access to services were perceived for elderly French-Canadian, English-Canadian or Portuguese people while serious problems of access were perceived for elderly Chinese people. Services provided for elderly people of the dominant cultures and elderly Portuguese are limited or unavailable to elderly Chinese people of Montreal. This suggests institutional racism against elderly Chinese people.

This paper intends to investigate the plight and predicament of the elderly people in a certain geographical area (Karbi Anglong District of Assam). Given the increasing plight of elderly people in today's materialistic world wherein love, care, dedication and selfless efforts of the parents get a severe nudge by their own children, the question that occupies us to search out the reasons for such frailty in human nature. A couple of factors interplay in such disorder and decline of human values that figure out in the literature as well as the micro level research that we have conducted in the course of the study. The helpless condition of the elders and their broken mind in most cases lie in their private life due to the embarrassment and pain attached to it. Though the problem is psycho social, none can ignore economic and cultural factors also to understand the problem. Karbi Anglong district is inhabited predominantly by the tribal population along with the significant presence of diverse communities. It is observed that the marginalization, abuses and torture on the elders are aplenty on the communities like Assamese, Bengali, Bihari etc. and this prompted us to concentrate our study on the aforesaid groups.
