Abstract
This study examines the factors that influence the mobile social participation of elderly disabled people compared to that of young adults with disabilities. The analysis was conducted using Heckman's two-stage model. The first stage of the research focused on the populations who have mobile devices, while the second stage focused on factors that influence mobile social participation. The results of the study are as follows: for elderly people with disabilities, mobile social participation is associated with living alone, PC usage ability, mobile usage ability, internet usage ability, and attitude towards digital use. Based on the results of this research, this study presents a plan to support the mobile social participation of elderly people with disabilities.
