A few observations: (1) France: the high number of tenured junior academic staff is remarkable. (2) Germany: the main problem is that there is no intermediate level for tenured academic staff, such as lecturer/senior lecturer, associate/assistant professor etc. (3) UK: The numbers confirm my (very limited) private research (available here). One is wondering, however, what they did with readerships and fixed term lecturerships. (4) US: the only country of this sample which has the system of a tenure track.
