The purpose of this article is to analyse the problems on volunteering of older Koreans and to suggest policy considerations for activating volunteering system of Korean older adults. It is suggested that problems of current volunteering system are low level of professionalism and diversity of volunteer activities, few connections with other areas such as leisure and economic activities, restricted recruitment of older volunteers, few research and survey of current situation on elderly volunteering, unmet reward and recognition system, and lacking in adequate evaluation for elderly volunteering projects which financially supported by government. For activating the volunteering system, three main policy considerations are suggested; ① strengthening and spreading social awareness of elderly volunteering, ② upgrading the
quality of volunteering, and ③expanding elderly volunteers and volunteer activities.
