To determine who is part of the labor force, we typically consider individuals who are either employed or actively seeking employment. This includes those working full-time, part-time, and those who are unemployed but available for work. Individuals not actively seeking work, such as retirees, students, or those not looking for a job, are not included in the labor force. If you provide specific individuals, I can help identify who among them is part of the labor force.
The labor force consists of adults over 16 years of age who are either employed (full-time or part-time) or unemployed. The labor force does not include those people who are not in the labor force (ex: student, stay at home mom)
They are not counted as part of the labor force unless they enter the labor force. They are considered to be part of the eligible labor force because 16 is the age you can legally be employed because of child labor laws. That is not to say someone under 16 can't work. it just means those under 16 are severly restricted in what they can do such as operate certain types of machinary and such.
"The 93 million volunteers1 receive no direct monetary compensation and are not counted in either labor force or employment statistics, and so their importance is under-appreciated"http://www.northwestern.edu/ipr/people/weisbrodlaborsort.pdf
The reserve army of labor was part of Karl Marx's political economy. He referred to the unemployed and the underemployed as the reserve labor force.
Minorities
The government considers the labor force to include individuals who are 16 years and older who are either employed or actively seeking employment. This encompasses both full-time and part-time workers, as well as those who are unemployed but available for work. However, it excludes individuals who are not seeking work, such as retirees, students, and those unable to work due to disability or other reasons.
44.71 million out of 111.21 million Mexicans form part of the labor force (40.2%).
no. They're both known as "students"
No, labor force only refers to people who are in fact working.
Subtracting the labor force from the total workforce leaves you with unemployed individuals who are of working age but not actively participating in labor activities. These could include students, retirees, homemakers, or those not seeking work. It highlights a section of the population that is not directly contributing to the economy. This metric is often used to assess economic engagement levels.
