A dialkylzinc partial hydrolysate-containing solution which can be handled in air and can form a zinc oxide thin film in air and a method for producing the zinc oxide thin film are provided. The dialkylzinc partial hydrolysate-containing solution contains a partial hydrolysate of dialkyl zinc represented by general formula (1) and a solvent which has a boiling point of 160° C. or higher, an amide structure represented by general formula (2), and which is an organic compound having a cyclic structure. The partial hydrolysate is the dialkylzinc hydrolyzed with water in a molar ratio in the range of 0.4 to 0.9 with respect to zinc in the dialkylzinc. A method for producing the zinc oxide thin film by applying the dialkylzinc partial hydrolysate-containing solution to a base material is also provided.
