Provided is a method for producing a microcapsule which has a core-shell type structure having a core portion that contains one or more functional compounds and a shell portion, the method including: a step (1) for obtaining a monomer emulsion by mixing one or more functional compounds, a water-soluble monomer (monomer (A)), a crosslinkable monomer (monomer (B) having two or more (meth)acryloyl groups), an oil-soluble polymerization initiator, an organic chain transfer agent and water; and a step (2) for obtaining a microcapsule by heating the monomer emulsion obtained in step (1) so as to polymerize the monomers. The organic chain transfer agent has a ClogP value of 3 or less. |
