Provided is a hydroxide-ion-conductive dense membrane having a He permeability per unit area of 10 cm/min·atm or less. The present invention provides a highly-densified hydroxide-ion-conductive membrane that can significantly reduce permeation of substances other than hydroxide ions (in particular, Zn, which may cause growth of dendritic zinc in a zinc secondary battery) and that is particularly suitable for use in, for example, a separator for a battery (in particular, a zinc secondary battery, which may cause growth of dendritic zinc).
