This article aims to analyze the role of migration in the process of the third demographic transition (TDT) in the context of key mediating determinants, such as migrants’ religiosity and economic conditions in the countries of origin and settlement. TDT refers to population changes resulting from migration as a demographic compensatory mechanism in countries with a low total fertility rate (TFR). The study is based on a network analysis of keywords in the scientific literature using the Scopus database and VOSviewer. The results point to three main research approaches to TDT—investigating quantitative population changes, the sociodemographic consequences of migration, and its effect on urbanization—and to the fact that economic and axionormative determinants are under-researched. This article contributes to TDT theory, pointing to the need for that theory to include cultural, economic, and axiological factors as key determinants influencing the permanence of TDT.
