The population ageing combined with the development of digital information makes it more difficult for older people to integrate into the digital life. In this context, it is urgent to build a system to govern the digital divide faced by older adults. An analysis framework was constructed for the governance of the digital gap faced by older adults from the theoretical perspective of the digital gap and knowledge gap. The specific manifestations, root causes, and possible adverse consequences of digital access gap, usage gap, and knowledge gap were analyzed one by one. It was made clear that the governance of the digital divide faced by older adults should be peopleoriented, focusing on both technical efficiency and social benefits. The major concepts should include participatory governance, inclusive governance, allround governance, and sustainable governance. The primary objective is to generally eliminate the digital information threshold, make all older adults enjoy fair development, and comprehensively help them integrate into the digital society. Approaches and strategic ideas for the governance of the digital divide faced by older adults are also further elaborated.
