This study aimed to analyze the usefulness of age integration as a policy orientation through a frame of life satisfaction. For the research purpose, this study employed the data from 33 OECD countries. This study categorized the subject countries in to four types by the level of age integration, elder``s quality of life, and total society``s quality of life. Also, this study analyzed the impacts of level of age integration on elder``s quality of life as well as total society``s quality. The results revealed that Korea was the only country with significantly lower level of age integration in objective dimension, elder``s quality of life, and total society``s quality than comparatives. Results of regression analyses showed that the level of age integration measured in an objective way significantly determined elder``s quality of life but not total society``s quality. Unlike age integration measured in an objective way, the level of age integration measured in an subjective way impacted both on elder``s quality of life and total society``s quality. Implication from this study was discussed.
