Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of the digital divide on the integration of the digital economy and the wellness industry in Sichuan Province, recognizing existing disparities that impede progress. The primary goal is to propose digital strategies and offer policy recommendations to bridge this gap effectively. The research objectives center on analyzing the influence of the digital divide, specifically focusing on digital infrastructure, talent shortages, information security, and policy awareness. Utilizing a combination of surveys and semi-structured interviews, the study seeks to provide actionable insights for policy development. The research, with an 88.99% response rate, explores the attitudes of Sichuan's elderly population towards digital integration, revealing key findings related to digital infrastructure, talent shortages, information security, and policy awareness. Results highlight challenges in these areas, including concerns about information leaks, limited digital literacy, and perceived gaps between traditional industries hindering integration. In conclusion, the paper recommends government initiatives such as infrastructure investment funds and digital training programs to address identified challenges. Strategies proposed involve enhancing talent management, improving information security, and fostering supportive policies, with the ultimate aim of facilitating the integrated development of the digital economy and wellness industry in Sichuan.
