Abstract
An absorbent resin exhibiting a high absorption ratio, having only a small water-soluble component content, and have excellent gel stability to withstand the effect of aging is produced. The production of the absorbent resin comprises a step of polymerizing a water-soluble monoethylenically unsaturated monomer by using, in a proportion of 0.01-0.3 mol % based on the amount of the water-soluble monoethylenically unsaturated monomer, a cross-linking agent having at least one group of the following formula I: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is an alkylene group of 2 to 4 carbon atoms interposed between two polymerizing unsaturated groups in the molecular unit thereof and then heat-treating the resin produced by the polymerization at a temperature in the range of from 160.degree. to 230.degree.
