Wow, I think I muddled that. Basically:

1 male for every female=family unit
Family unit can have a maximum of one male and one female child

HOWEVER, gender disparity can exist and does necessarily exist IF Birthmothers do not create family units as Laborers, in which case there must be as many females as males PLUS current and former Birthmothers. In this case, the three children may very well be a controlled two female children and one male child per every Birthmother. So it could work if the Birthmothers/female Laborers make up a disproportionately large part of the population.

Hmm, that seems plausible. Plus, since the Giver outright states that hair colour can be controlled (they were trying to eliminate red hair IIRC - no idea why), choosing the gender of the babies would be a piece of cake.
