Neither unemployment nor environmental destruction is incompatible with population decline.

The unemployment rate is independent of the population size, because fewer people means less demand which means proportionally fewer jobs.

And unchecked evil corporations can perfectly well automate environmental destruction and carry it out with a minimum number of people.
