| Annotation | The authors use a regression model on data collected from 1,250 Korean older women living in urban areas, to explain the effect of participation in productive activities on life satisfaction and its implications for social evaluation of productive ageing. Older women who participate in volunteer work, learning, and social group activities commonly recognised their activities as meaningful, feeling like worthwhile members of society, and evaluated such activities as very positive. In contrast, older women who participated in household chores and family care activities expressed a negative life satisfaction. The difference in life satisfaction regarding productive activities stems not only from the physical and environmental differences, but also from the gap between the official social value underpinned by the recognition of surrounding people, their support, and the value of productive activities.
