Maybe it's because "degrowth" is somewhat popular in German-speaking Europe, and maybe that's not the case anywhere else. But either way, it seems odd to me that you'd rather assume it's about "having less people and less technology" than do a quick search to find out:

Degrowth is a term used for both a political, economic, and social movement as well as a set of theories that critiques the paradigm of economic growth.
