Abstract

Building a learning society is an inevitable requirement for the development of modern society, during which the participation of every member of society is indispensable. In this study, a group of retired middle-aged and older women were selected as the research participants, and the CGSS2017 was used to investigate the factors impacting their willingness to learn. The data demonstrated that the individual and spouse education levels, as well as the media contents can exert a profound influence on the learning willingness. Also, there were no urban-rural geographical differences, and the willingness to learn among the studied group is generally not high. Therefore, the construction of senior education should be enhanced by creating a supportive learning environment, providing abundant learning opportunities for middle-aged and older women groups, stimulating their willingness to learn, thereby promoting the further construction of a learning society.
