A recording medium comprising: a support; a first ink-receiving layer; and a second ink-receiving layer in that order, wherein the first ink-receiving layer includes inorganic particles, a water-soluble polymer having a hydroxyl group, a water-soluble polymer not having a hydroxyl group, and a boric acid compound, and the second ink-receiving layer includes inorganic particles, a water-soluble polymer having a hydroxyl group, and a boric acid compound, and satisfies a condition or below: Condition: The second ink-receiving layer does not include the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group, Condition: The second ink-receiving layer includes the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group, but the content of the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group relative to the content of the inorganic particles in the second ink-receiving layer is smaller than the content of the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group relative to the content of the inorganic particles in the first ink-receiving layer, characterized in that in the first ink-receiving layer, a mass ratio of the total content of both the water-soluble polymer having the hydroxyl group and the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group to the content of the inorganic particles is 10% by mass or more and less than 19% by mass. a support; a first ink-receiving layer; and a second ink-receiving layer in that order, wherein the first ink-receiving layer includes inorganic particles, a water-soluble polymer having a hydroxyl group, a water-soluble polymer not having a hydroxyl group, and a boric acid compound, and the second ink-receiving layer includes inorganic particles, a water-soluble polymer having a hydroxyl group, and a boric acid compound, and satisfies a condition or below: Condition: The second ink-receiving layer does not include the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group, Condition: The second ink-receiving layer includes the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group, but the content of the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group relative to the content of the inorganic particles in the second ink-receiving layer is smaller than the content of the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group relative to the content of the inorganic particles in the first ink-receiving layer, Condition: The second ink-receiving layer does not include the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group, Condition: The second ink-receiving layer includes the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group, but the content of the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group relative to the content of the inorganic particles in the second ink-receiving layer is smaller than the content of the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group relative to the content of the inorganic particles in the first ink-receiving layer, characterized in that in the first ink-receiving layer, a mass ratio of the total content of both the water-soluble polymer having the hydroxyl group and the water-soluble polymer not having the hydroxyl group to the content of the inorganic particles is 10% by mass or more and less than 19% by mass.
