The present invention provides a resin composition including an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) and a polyamide resin and having outstanding properties in terms of long-term run stability, appearance, and hot water resistance in melt molding. In this resin composition, 70 mol % or more of all the terminal ends of the polyamide resin are blocked with units including an imide structure. At least a portion of the units containing an imide structure may be units containing a cyclic imide structure.
