Abstract: Based on official statistics, the article provides an assessment of the current level of aggregate innovation activity in country and regional comparisons, analyzes the state of the innovation environment in the industry and labor markets in mining regions with coal specialization. The conclusion is made about the extremely low innovative activity of the personnel potential of organizations for the extraction and processing of coal at the present stage. A predictive assessment of the release of coal industry personnel in the main mining regions is given, taking into account the achievement by coal mining enterprises of the predicted levels of coal production and labor productivity under the scenarios of innovative digital development in accordance with the "Program for the Development of the Russian Coal Industry for the Period up to 2035" approved by the Government of the Russian Federation. Conceptual approaches to the innovative digital transformation of the Russian coal industry and priority measures to ensure social stability in the industry and in mining areas, including the intensification of outsourcing processes, personnel training, etc., are proposed.
Keywords: innovation, digital transformation, coal industry, human resources, mining region, labor market, outsourcing
