Abstract: By collecting information through interviews about the Internet use of the elderly, this article constructs a multiple causes model of the digital divide among the elderly based on grounded theory analysis. The results show that social environment, Internet positioning, important others and individual endowments act as four key reasons for the digital divide among the aged. In the social environment and Internet positioning, there is a lack of an age-appropriate Internet. Important others fail to support the Internet use by elderly people and individual endowment of the elderly restricts their use of the Internet. Therefore, they are more likely than the young to encounter the digital divide, but with little obvious subjective experience.

Key words: elderly, digital divide, multi-cause model
