The issue of aging nations is a key concern for overall development and is addressed by many international organizations, such as. the United Nations or the European Commission and similar organizations. The research question addressed by the authors in this paper is to what degree can digital literate 54+ people in European Union (EU) member countries influence sustainable development and vice versa? Active aging is a concept that contributes toachieving one of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Through its research on Digital economy and society, EUROSTAT made available data on the degree of digital literacy of persons over the age of 54+. In order to achieve the SDGs, as well as the goals of the Digital Agenda EU, the demographically old EU member countries need to find ways to raise the rate of digital literacy 54+ in order to contribute to achieving the SDGs. In this paper, the authors present a review of the mentioned theoretical concepts, policies and the practical contributions of active ageing projects and the continual as well as systematic approach to solving identified problems of the digital divide of 54+ citizens are the bridges for solving gaps in the EU.
