To provide a two-component developer that can suppress the decrease in the amount of charge of the developer due to the deterioration of the developer's durability in a high-temperature, high-
humidity environment. [Solution] A two-component developer containing toner particles, a magnetic carrier, and inorganic fine particles B, wherein the magnetic carrier has magnetic carrier particles having a
coating resin layer covering the surface of
magnetic core particles, the
coating resin layer contains inorganic fine particles A, at least a portion of the inorganic fine particles A is exposed on the surface of the carrier particles, the amount of inorganic fine particles B recovered by the
water washing method XB is 0.01 to 0.05 parts by
mass, the compression energy of the inorganic fine particles B is 75 mJ or less, and the
work function WA of inorganic fine particles A, the
work function WB of inorganic fine particles B, the coverage rate by inorganic fine particles A XA, the height of the protrusions of inorganic fine particles A HA, and the number-average particle size HB of inorganic fine particles B recovered by the
water washing method satisfy the following formula. 0.5 ≤ |WA - WB| ≤ 10.0 0.001 ≤ XB / XA ≤ 0.010 0.5 ≤ HB / HA ≤ 4.0
