At present, China is facing the great challenge of an aging population, and the digital divide for the elderly has become a difficult problem that the government has to face. This paper adopts the literature review method, summarizes the previous research results, analyzes the difficulties existing in the governance of the digital divide for the elderly from the perspectives of the elderly themselves, enterprises and the government, and gives optimization suggestions, aiming to provide some theoretical references for bridging the digital divide for the elderly in China. The research shows that the negative perception of the elderly themselves, the incomplete transformation of enterprises to adapt to the aging, and the absence of government policies are all the existing dilemmas in this aspect of governance. Based on this, the paper puts forward the path of governance optimization: the family should assume the obligation of digital feeding; Enterprises need to enhance the sense of social responsibility and actively participate in the aging transformation; The government should improve the implementation rules of the policy and formulate corresponding laws and regulations.
