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.
