- Abstract: The global aging population presents significant challenges for societies
worldwide, particularly in an increasingly digitalized era. The Learning
Society is crucial in preparing different societies and their people to address
these challenges effectively. This paper extends this concept and proposes a
new conceptual framework, Learning Societies for Digital Aging, empowering all
members across various sectors from different ages to acquire and develop the
necessary knowledge, skills, and competencies to navigate and thrive in an
increasingly digital world. It presents seven guiding principles for developing
this conceptual framework: 1) Centering Humanistic Values, 2) Embracing
Digital, 3) Cultivating Learning Societies, 4) Advancing Inclusiveness, 5)
Taking Holistic Approaches, 6) Encouraging Global Knowledge Sharing, and 7)
Fostering Adaptability. By integrating these guiding principles into the
design, implementation, and evaluation of formal, nonformal, and informal
learning opportunities for people of all ages, stakeholders can contribute to
creating and nurturing learning societies that cater to aging populations in
the digital world. This paper aims to provide a foundation for further research
and action toward building more inclusive, adaptive, and supportive learning
environments that address the challenges of digital aging and foster more
empathetic, informed, and prepared societies for the future of aging.

We argue that many of these issues share a common core: a lack of awareness of the factors, context, and implications of the social environment in which NLP operates.
We argue that substantial challenges remain for NLP to develop social awareness and that we are just at the beginning of a new era for the field.
