Disclosed is a low-environmental load toner for electrostatic image development.
The toner for electrostatic image development includes toner particles containing a resin. The resin contains a vinyl polymer having a structural unit represented by the following general formula (1). In the formula, R
1
to R
5
are each a hydrogen atom, an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or —OCOR
6
(R
6
is an alkyl group having
1
to
8
carbon atoms), at least two of R
1
to R
5
are hydrogen atoms, and at least one thereof is an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or —OCOR
