“…The availability of the latter was regarded as especially important, given the project team's intention to establish balanced, multi-skilled work teams who would be supervised by skilled workers.

It is perhaps useful to summarize the more important of these.…”

The transition to industrial capitalism in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was accompanied by a decline in irregular work attendance. The chronology of that decline is unclear due to a lack of quantitative evidence.

The objective: to consider the peculiarities of social tension occurrence in the coal-mining region. Methods: the research is based on the awareness of the fact that social tension is a mass adaptation syndrome that reflects the degree of different population categories physiological, psychophysiological and social-psychological adaptation (or maladaptation) to chronic frustration, hardships (drop in living standards and social changes).Social tension is addressed through the lens of both population categories: the population living on the territory of a coal-mining region but not employed in coal-mining industry as well as population directly employed in coal-mining industry. Results: the factors influencing the degree of social tension of the population living in a coal-mining region and directly employed in coal-mining industry have been released. Conclusion: the ways of social tension in coal-mining region easingbased on integrated research data have been offered. It has been determined that sustainable development of a coal-mining region must be connected with the following interrelated aspects: ecosystem preservation, satisfaction of human needsas well as life quality satisfaction together with efficient resources distribution and others. It has been proved that maximum involvement of thecitizens in social and political life plays the discrete role in the process of social tension easing in a coal-mining region.
