Analysis of an Older Adults’ Education Service Model Driven by Big Data

After years of economic development and social progress, China has now become an aging society. Since 2000, the degree of the population's aging has deepened. Statistics released by the National Bureau of Statistics indicate that after the 14th Five-Year Plan in 2025, the country will have more than 210 million people over the age of 65, accounting for 15% of the total population. In the future, the issue of China's aging population will become graver. Therefore, the development of education for older adults is an important aspect of the implementation of the Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly. Further, it is an inherent requirement for establishing a lifelong education system and constructing a learning-oriented society. This paper discusses the development of education for older adults in China and discusses how to apply the big data technology service mode to education for this population. Exploring the existing problems related to managing education for older adults includes matching and disseminating aging information content; promoting the standardization, modernization, and rationalization of education services for older adults; and exploring the development trend of virtual endowments.
