One type of fear is broad and economic. Fewer people means fewer brains, so the pace of innovation would slow. It means less scope for specialisation and division of labour. (If only 1,000 people live in your city, good luck finding Ethiopian food or a club for your niche hobby.) Rapid shrinkage could be hugely disruptive. Heavy public debts would suddenly fall on fewer shoulders, many of them ageing. Megacities might be fine, but small towns could hollow out as the last school closes.
