Jon Birger is an American freelance writer, speaker and author of Date-Onomics: How Dating Became a Lopsided Numbers Game.
Career
Birger writes about emerging demographic trends, which include his latest focus on gender deficits with regard to college educated men and the implication of this deficit on dating. He has contributed to magazine publications on topics as diverse as oil exploration in the Chukchi Sea [1] to the global wine shortage.
A business journalist, Birger is a former senior writer at Fortune and Money magazines and continues to contribute to Fortune. He has contributed to Barron’s, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, New York, Time, and The Washington Post. [2][3][4][5][6].
Prior to writing for Fortune and Money, Birger served as a writer, reporter or editor for publications like Red Herring, Crain's New York Business, The Bond Buyer and The Keene Sentinel.
Media
He has also appeared on national and international television and radio media outlets, including ABC’s Good Morning America, BBC World Service, CNBC, CNN, MSNBC, National Public Radio, and Fox News. [7]
Speaking Engagements
Birger has presented at The Cato Institute, and The Economic Club of Florida and is scheduled to speak at South By Southwest in March of 2016.
Book
Birger's first book Date-Onomics was published in September 2015 by Workman Publishing Company. The book argues that the rise of the hookup culture and the declining marriage rates for college-educated women are both byproducts of lopsided gender ratios within higher education. It also explores how shortages of marriage-age men within two religious groups, Utah Mormons and Orthodox Jews, are behind marriage crises affecting those communities.
