The purpose of this study was to compare the variability in quality of life in the area of digital consumption among older adults in urban and rural China during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study proposed a low-cost mixed research method, and the methodology used a quantitative study of a large regional sample combined with a qualitative study of a small regional sample. Data for the large-scale area sample were obtained from the China family panel study (CFPS) dataset, and data for the small-scale regional sample were obtained from Nanjing, China. The quantitative analysis of the large-scale regional sample used the least squares regression analysis (OSL) and propensity score matching (PSM). The qualitative analysis of the small-scale regional sample used the selection optimization and compensation (SOC) model. The findings show that economic income is a direct driver of digital consumption. Digital consumption had a significant positive relationship with the quality of life for urban and rural older adults. In addition, the study established the semantic network relationships of the coping strategies of digital consumption of older adults and their drivers. Finally, the theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed in the context of other related studies.

Challenges faced by women in their business in Zimbabwe were closure of business, exposure to rape, violence and robbery, financial losses, drop in their revenue, reduced remittances, reduced demand of goods and services, obstacles in logistics and shipping of products, challenges of acquiring raw materials, reduced worker productivity as well as technological challenges in the form of (limited e-banking and teleconferencing opportunities, huge data costs and lack of required technology. In terms of the effects of e-learning to women and girls in accessing education in Zimbabwe it was realised that, girls and women enjoyed benefits such as to exposure to online learning, reduced walking distances, exposure to educational opportunities such as scholarships. However, there were also adverse effects and these were limited access to online learning, lack of smartphones, lack of data, non- inclusive education, reduced long distance – learning via WhatsApp exposure to uncensored online material which exposed girls to online sexual predators. Policy recommendation wise, it was suggested that there is need for increased government funding towards ICT at all levels as well as prioritisation of all marginalised women.
