This study explored the relationship between government social activity programs and life-satisfactions in elderly care services. The Korea governments provide the elderly with many social activity programs such as lifetime education programs, volunteer programs, and job opportunities. However, we know little about how these programs enhance the life satisfaction of elderly people. Using the data source from the 2017 elderly people survey, we conduct a regression analysis on the association between social activity programs and their effects on elderly satisfactions with social relationship, residential quality, and economic condition. The results show that elderly people with a higher level of the social activity programs are more likely to satisfy with their life, particularly in the areas of social relationship, residential quality, and economic condition.
