Résumé

El objetivo del trabajo es estudiar cuáles son los determinantes de la participación en Pro-gramas Universitarios para Mayores (PUM) y contrastar si existe una relación significativa la satisfacción durante la jubilación y la calidad de vida. Utilizando la Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida de los Mayores (2006) se estima un modelo probit bivariante para la satisfacción en la jubilación y la participación en PUM, y un probit bivariante ordenado para la Escala de Calidad de Vida previamente construida y la participación en dichos programas. Condicionado a participar, se constata un aumento en la probabilidad de satisfacción y en el disfrute de una buena (muy buena) calidad de vida. Para los individuos que viven solos, dichas probabilidades aumentan cuando participan, pero disminuyen en caso contrario. Aunque la mayoría de participantes son mujeres, los hombres experimentan incrementos superiores en su satisfacción y calidad de vida cuando participan.
