THE children of the economic boom, generation Y, are about to get a reality wake-up call.
As the Reserve Bank of Australia downgraded its expectations for growth last week and the sharemarket reflected growing fears of a recession, the next 12 months threatens to be a new world for young workers, warn pundits.
Demographer Bernard Salt said an economic downturn will prove a turning point for those aged between 15 and 30 as fewer job options in a contracting economy force them to make compromises for the first time.

This could be the best thing to happen to the generation Y group.  They really need a wakeup call considering their I want eveything now mentality be it fancy clothing, electronics, high powered and paying jobs at the age of 18-19 and so on. Hopefully they will wake up and smell the roses that you can't live life forever on loose credit.
I am a generation X guy for the record.
