A vinyl alcohol polymer containing a side chain olefin, which comprises a vinyl alcohol unit and a structural unit represented by the following formula (I). Thereby, a side chain olefin-containing vinyl alcohol polymer having good water solubility even after heat treatment, high storage stability, and excellent reactivity to high energy rays, and a method for producing the same are provided.n n n n n n n n n n [In the formula (1), X represents a divalent saturated hydrocarbon group which may have a branched structure with 1 to 6 carbon atoms, Y represents a hydrogen atom or a saturated hydrocarbon group which may have a branched structure with 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and Z represents a hydrogen atom or a formaldehyde base. ] |
