A magneto-optical recording medium includes a substrate on which light is incident, a first magnetic layer provided at the substrate side, and a second magnetic layer provided on the first magnetic layer. The first magnetic layer is an in-plane magnetization film at room temperature and becomes a perpendicular magnetization film at a temperature between room temperature and a Curie temperature thereof. The second magnetic layer has a Curie temperature lower than that of the first magnetic layer and is a perpendicular magnetization film. The direction of magnetization of the first magnetic layer is anti-parallel to the direction of magnetization of the second magnetic layer in a state in which the first magnetic layer and second magnetic layer are stable with respect to each other by exchange-coupling.
