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.
