The present invention provides a thermoplastic resin composition comprising (a) 100 parts by weight of a resin selected from the group consisting of polypropylenes and copolymers composed mainly of propylene, (b) 5 to 350 parts by weight of a resin selected from the group consisting of polyethylenes and copolymers composed mainly of ethylene, the resin having been prepared using a single site catalyst, and (c) 5 to 200 parts by weight of an ionomer resin or its ester. The present thermoplastic resin composition is excellent in mechanical properties and heat bonding property to various resins, and causes no bleeding-out of softening agents, thereby the softness of the shaped articles obtained from the composition can be easily controlled. The present invention also provides a laminated article comprising a layer of the resin composition .
