Possibly, if the context is something like " Problems that the old fail to solve today will rest on young shoulders tomorrow." Otherwise it is merely a noun modified by an adjective.

No, young shoulders is not a synechdoche, which is a figure of speech in which a part is used for the whole (as hand for sailor), the whole for a part (as the law for police officer), the specific for the general (as cutthroat for assassin), the general for the specific (as thief for pickpocket), or the material for the thing made from it (as steel for sword).

I don't see any relation between young and shoulders.
