There are fears young people will come out worse off from any upcoming recession. Reserve Bank Governor Adrian Orr has confirmed the bank is deliberately engineering a recession, with plans to hike the Official Cash Rate as high as 5.5 percent. That recession is expected to hit around the middle of next year.
