This invention provides a production process by which a polymer having a hydroxyl group at both terminals can be easily obtained with a cheap price and good efficiency from a wide field of vinyl-based monomers including polar ones. In this process, a polymerization reaction of a vinyl-based monomer (a) is performed by using hydrogen peroxide (b) and, on this occasion, either one or both of a hydrogen peroxide-decomposing accelerator (c) and an amphiphilic compound (d) are further used and any component other than the (a), (b), (c) and (d) is not substantially used. |
