Childhood experiences are important antecedents of adult flourishing, yet gender patterns in these experiences are under-studied in large global samples using a common survey instrument and population-based study design. From the Global Flourishing Study Wave 1 data (2022-2024), we analyzed responses from 203,430 adults (51% female, 49% male) in nationally representative samples from 21 nations on eight childhood-related items: experiencing physical or sexual abuse, feeling like an outsider in the family, feeling loved by one's mother or father, quality of relationship with one's mother or father, health growing up, and perceived family financial situation. Greater negative experiences were noted in more affluent nations (as measured by gross domestic product (GDP) per capita), with negative experiences generally reported more often among females than males, again especially in more affluent nations. Gender differences were more pronounced when it came to relationships with mothers compared to fathers. Perceptions regarding health and family finance while growing up did not show appreciable gender differences and had weaker correlations with other items.
