Complaints about population numbers are typically in support of some other agenda. Concern with over-population typically lies with the environmentalists, which is really a problem of lack of urbanism, not population. The concern with under-population typically comes from folks who support a robust social safety net, but only way those are possible without a steep reduction in quality of life, is to have more people always paying in than paying out, which is no longer feasible.
