<abstract>The beginning of a new century is an appropiate moment to consider the role of ergonomics in relation to the problems facing  society. To help solve these serious global problems, ergonomics needs to be open to new disciplines, particularly those in the social sciences. Also, it may be difficult to generalize research on human-centred sociotechnical design without taking into account national characteristics, economics and political constraints. Currently there is more interest than ever in what ergonomics has to offer, but not  deliver its promise requires a much broader approach than is usual. By adopting such new approaches one may help solve both  the problems of the overdeveloped pos-industrial societies and those of the societies of the Third World, where a new approach to work and economics may provide an improved chance for development given the recent changes in global economics policy</abstract>
