PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrostatic latent image bearing member having improved durability, free of occurrence of an abnormal image such as ground stain or filming even in long-term repetitive use, and capable of performing stable image formation, a method for manufacturing the electrostatic latent image bearing member by which environmental load can be reduced, and an image forming method, an image forming apparatus and a process cartridge having a long lifetime and high performance. SOLUTION: The electrostatic latent image bearing member comprises a support and at least a charge generating layer and a charge transport layer disposed in this order on the support, wherein the charge transport layer contains at least a charge transport material and a binder resin and has a thickness of 30-50μm, and an absorbance ratio A between the charge transport material and the binder resin in a surface of the charge transport layer by infrared spectroscopic measurement and an absorbance ratio B between the charge transport material and the binder resin in a position 15μm inward from the surface of the charge transport layer by infrared spectroscopic measurement satisfy a relationship of the formula: B/A=1.05-1.30.
