The object of the invention is to provide an optical information recording medium which excels in stability e.g., for preserving the properties during a long-term storage and which enables recording using a laser having a small peak power, and a method for manufacturing such an optical information recording medium. An optical information recording medium 10 includes a recording layer 14, and intermediate layers (adhesive agent layer 15A and recording layer support layer 15B) adjacent to the recording layer 14, and the recording layer 14 includes a recording material comprising a one-photon absorption dye bound to a polymer binder (polymer compound).
