Social Media Usages During COVID-19 Confinement: The Lebanese Older People
Abstract
Although Lebanon currently has the highest proportion of adults aged 65 years and above, we noticed the lack of sufficient studies and information on older people in many fields. The Lebanese older population suffered from the outbreak of Covid-19, because the confinement isolated them and hindered their participation in societal activities. Hence, most of them replaced the traditional social interactions with the usages of social media. The literature review reveals that most of the studies conducted in Lebanon on Covid-19 pandemic did not provide valuable information on the older people in relation to social media usages during the pandemic. Thus, this study aims at filling this gap by addressing the social media role and usage habits in the life of the Lebanese older people during the confinement. And based on the findings of this study, we will suggest some implications for the benefit of a post-pandemic older population in Lebanon.
