Provided are: a water-absorbable resin composition which enables the formation of a transparent anti-fogging coating film having excellent appearance, coatability, anti-fogging properties, water resistance, heat resistance and the like; and a laminate produced using the composition. A specific (meth)acrylamide copolymer (A) produced by copolymerizing a (meth)acrylamide monomer with another monomer is combined with at least one (meth)acrylate compound (B) having at least two functionalities, whereby it becomes possible to provide: an active-energy-curable water-absorbable resin composition having excellent anti-fogging properties; and a laminate produced using the composition.
