Abstract
Ergonomists from advanced technology should recognize their basic concepts, data, and techniques may not be directly applicable to an under-developed country. For example, anthropometric data may not be suitable. And ergonomics decisions must be considered in light of the political and social factors of the under-developed country. However, ergonomists can make as effective a contribution to underdeveloped countries as any technological specialty.Keywords
