The paper presents a bibliometric analysis of publications on migration, economy and security of the country. The visualization method was used to visualize the results of the study. The study was conducted in VOSviewer. Publications from the scientometric database Scopus for the period 1645-2020 were taken for analysis. The search query was formed from the following keywords: "migration", "human mobility", "econom *", "security", "safety". In addition, for a more accurate search, the query was limited to the following areas of knowledge: Social Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Economics, Econometrics and Finance, Arts and Humanities, Business, Management and Accounting, Multidisciplinary, Decision Sciences. A total of 1,781 documents were processed, of which 1,192 were scientific articles. The article analyzed the sharing of keywords in publications using VOSviewer. Analysis of scientists' publication activity has shown that there is a growing interest in studying issues related to the relationship between migration, economy, and security in the scientific community. The largest number of publications on the researched issue during the analyzed period was recorded in 2020 and amounts to 179 documents. The publications' geography showed that scientists made the most significant contribution to the development of research on this issue from the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Germany, Australia and China. An analysis of scientific cooperation on the research topic showed that the United States and the United Kingdom have the largest number of relationships with other countries to conduct joint research in this area. Keyword clustering has made it possible to identify four clusters, including words grouped by the most common areas of research. The most popular areas are research on the impact of climate change on migration, the relationship of migration processes with a socio-economic change in countries, the connection between migration and national security, etc.
