The present invention provides a method for manufacturing an inkjet recording medium having at least applying, on a support, a coating liquid A, a coating liquid B and a coating liquid C in this order from the support to form an ink receiving layer. The coating liquid A contains at least a crosslinking agent. The coating liquid B contains at least a vapor-phase-process silica and a water-soluble binder, in which the content of a pseudo boehmite alumina hydrate with respect to the content of the vapor-phase-process silica in the coating liquid B is less than 3% by mass, and the content of a crosslinking agent with respect to the content of the vapor-phase-process silica in the coating liquid B is less than 3% by mass. The coating liquid C contains at least a pseudo boehmite alumina hydrate and a water-soluble binder.
