The present invention provides a Group III nitride semiconductor light-emitting device having a low drive voltage and a production method therefor. A p-type semiconductor layer formation step comprises a p-type cladding layer formation step of forming a p-side superlattice layer on a light-emitting layer by supplying a first raw material gas containing at least a Group III element and a dopant gas, a p-type intermediate layer formation step of forming a p-type intermediate layer on the p-side superlattice layer by supplying a first raw material gas and a dopant gas, a dopant gas supply step of supplying the dopant gas while stopping the supply of the first raw material gas after the p-type intermediate layer formation step, and a p-type contact layer formation step of forming a p-type contact layer on the p-type intermediate layer by supplying a first raw material gas and a dopant gas after the dopant gas supply step.
