Abstract

This poster reports a qualitative study of older adults- financial practices in today's increasingly digitalized monetary infrastructure, based on semi-structure interviews with 10 retirees in Shanghai China. An inductive analysis of the interview results reveals that their financial practices as well as their use or non-use of ICT are closely related to their current life styles and past life experiences. After presenting the preliminary findings, we will suggest some implications for design for the older adults.
