Abstract

In the context of the intersection of digitization and aging, the frequent occurrence of fraud incidents among the elderly poses a great threat to family financial security and has attracted the attention of all walks of life. Based on the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study data, this paper uses Probit and Tobit regression methods to empirically test the impact of digital aging on the financial fraud losses of the elderly. The research shows that digital aging can significantly reduce the possibility of actual financial fraud and the amount of financial fraud losses of the elderly, among which it has a greater impact on the elderly with higher cognitive ability, frequent contact with children and in the eastern region. Mental vulnerability will weaken the inhibitory effect of digital aging on financial fraud losses. Therefore, it provides corresponding countermeasures and suggestions for the financial risk prevention of elderly families from the aspects of government guidance, enterprise innovation, family feedback and personal fraud prevention, and provides new ideas for the development and implementation of financial anti-fraud.
