Abstract. The study of the history of the Russian working class and the justification of its historical mission was the leading trend of historical science in the Soviet period. Meanwhile, individual plots at both the national and regional levels still need additional study. Among such problems in the history of the working class of the pre-revolutionary Urals is the question of its size in general and its individual categories in particular. It is obvious that clarifying the role of social groups in the historical process both at the local and national levels is impossible without clarifying these parameters. Taking into account the peculiarities of pre-revolutionary statistics, which did not provide information on the number of young workers in the railway transport, handicraft industry, and builders, we limited our research to the mining and manufacturing industries, which were the leading sectors of the Ural economy. Another feature of pre-revolutionary industrial statistics was the classification of only minors and teenagers under 17 as young workers. Although this takes away from the research field a significant part of the youth, whose age range in this period was determined in the range from 14 to 25 years, the object of study is the age group from 14 to 17 years. In the course of the study, we attempted to determine the number of mining and factory youth in the specified age range. Due to the peculiarities of the development of the regional economy, it turned out to be higher than the all-Russian parameters, which predetermined a higher degree of exploitation of adolescent labour at Ural enterprises.
Keywords: Ural, Mining zone, factory industry, labor, number of employees, working youth, socio-economic situation
