Provided are polymer particles capable of being uniformly dispersed in a hydrophilic solvent, such as an alcohol solvent or the like, and having appropriate aggregability, a method for producing such polymer particles, and the use thereof. The polymer particles contain at least one of a constituent unit derived from a monofunctional (meth)acrylic monomer and a constituent unit derived from a monofunctional styrene monomer, a constituent unit derived from a hydroxyl group-containing monomer represented by general formula (1) (in the formula, R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R2 represents an optionally substituted divalent cyclic hydrocarbon group, m and n each independently represent an integer of 0-4, and R3 represents an ester group or ether group having any orientation), and a constituent unit derived from a crosslinkable monomer, and has a hydroxyl value of 5.0-30 mgKOH/g. |
