Historical facts of the city of Novoshakhtinsk

The first settlements of the modern city date back to 1840-1910. Rock layers reaching out to the surface of the bank of the Kondryuchya River were discovered in 1696 by the peasant Grigory Kapustin. The discovery marked the birth of the famous coal basin. The rapidly emerging coal mines merged in 1910 into the Nesvitai mine.

The second stage in the history of the city is the construction of a large number of coal mines (with the participation of the son of millionaire Nikolai Paramonov), stone barracks, cottages for the administration, a park, the opening of a cinema hall, and a reading pavilion.

The settlement was granted city status in January 1939. Life and the development of the city changed dramatically at the beginning of the war. All the coal mines were flooded. Between July 1942 and February 1943, the city was occupied by German troops. Many residents were evacuated. There was a prisoner of war camp in the city. After liberation, the main headquarters of the Southern District of Soviet troops was located here.

The middle of the 20th century was a period of restoration of mines and the birth of a powerful coal industry. Beginning in 1993, the volume of coal production decreased sharply, and a major accident at the Zapadnaya mine required urgent reconstruction of old mines. All of them closed, but the city developed in other areas of activity.

There is a natural decline

The main indicators of population change are natural and mechanical decline. The determining factor in population decline is its natural decline. To a large extent, the increase in mortality is associated with deteriorating public health. There is an insufficient quality of medical care for the population, a lack of certain medical services in the city, and a significant increase in the cost of medicines. The low birth rate is also somewhat influenced by the socio-economic situation in the country: rising prices for utilities, food and goods, and especially for children's products, low wages. Although it should be noted that state programs carried out by the government (receipt of maternity capital, mortgage lending) have contributed to an increase in the birth rate in a number of regions in recent years. At the moment, we are seeing further development of programs in the coming years. The government is interested in the growth of the country's population as a whole, which is constrained by the presence of a number of factors (criteria) that take place.

About unemployment

The number of unemployed for 2014-2018 is characterized by minor fluctuations, except for 2015. For the last two years, its value has not changed. The total number of unemployed may exceed the number of registered unemployed several times. This significant discrepancy in the amounts of total and registered unemployment is explained by the fact that a significant part of the unemployed prefer to search for work on their own, without registering with the employment center. As a result, many residents who are unable to find well-paid jobs in the city are forced to leave in search of work in other regions of the country.

About income

Incomes of the city's population continue to remain low. To determine the dynamics of the average monthly accrued wages for a full range of enterprises and organizations, we use data for November of the study period - 2014-2018. With the growth of the average monthly salary in the city in 2014-2018, there is a lag behind the level of wages in the region as a whole.
