Abstract
This study aims to analyze affecting factors on life satisfaction level of the women and partial effects using Ordered Logit Model. For this purpose, socio-economic factors are selected as major independent factors. And the data used was from the third 'Korea Welfare Panel Study'. Analysis shows that social life factors such as the satisfaction of leisure activities, social relationships, family member communication, and positive attitude to life had positive effects with the life satisfaction level of the women. However, economic factors such as home ownership, disposable income had a lower positive impact compared to social life factors. While, satisfaction level of women is negatively related with family member discordance, and classified low-income families. On the basis of these results, government should pay more attention to improve facilities and software that could meet women's needs of social life satisfaction.
