No, labor force only refers to people who are in fact working.
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.

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 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)
