The Human Age
Four forces are driving changes in workforces around the world: shifting demographics, technological advancement, the rise of individual choice, and competitive drivers.
At ManpowerGroup, we’ve identified this new era as the Human Age, where the ability to unleash human potential is the key to business growth.
In the Human Age, employers need to rethink how they access talent, reimagine their people practises and redesign how they construct work.
The ManpowerGroup UK Human Age newspaper helps employers to do exactly that. Published annually, it keeps employers up-to-date with current workforce trends, the latest initiatives ManpowerGroup are involved in, and how we’re helping our clients address the complex challenges they face in today’s world of work.

The Human Age – Fourteenth Edition Summer 2023
Over the past year, we’ve witnessed a dynamic shift in the economic landscape, from a post-pandemic boom, to talks of a recession, to a gradual reduction in demand. However, amidst these fluctuations, one constant remains: strong hiring intentions. In our latest edition of the Human Age, we delve into the labour market trends that contribute to The Future Forces of Work. We discuss strategies to drive positive change and overcome the challenges presented.
The Human Age – Thirteenth Edition Summer 2022
2022 has the potential to be one of the most transformative years in recent history. As we enter the post-pandemic reality, companies are realising they need to do more to attract and retain skilled, diverse workers and people in turn are looking for more from their employers to thrive at work. In our latest edition of the Human Age newspaper, we explore all the labour market trends contributing to what we are calling the ‘Great Realisation’, as well as some of our own initiatives and solutions for tackling the challenges of today’s world of work.
The Human Age – Twelfth Edition Summer 2021
Despite the impact of the pandemic on unemployment, the labour market has roared back to life, and there are already signs of the sector tightening as in the start of 2020. Organisations have increasingly specific skills’ needs as transformation accelerates, and challenges that existed pre-2020 still remain as competition returns and demand for workers outstrips supply.
The Human Age – Eleventh Edition Summer/Autumn 2020
We explore the impact of COVID-19 on the world of work. The global economy has been shocked by the pandemic, and employment will be one of the building blocks to recovery. This edition focuses on the 4B model – Build, Buy, Borrow and Bridge – to overcoming workforce challenges of the current environment. It also highlights charitable partnerships working to open doors for young people in the workplace.
