German term or phrase: Verlaufsanalyse

Title of a report:

"Retrospective Verlaufsanalyse von Karriereverläufen in der Mathematik und ausgewählten Naturwissenschaften."

See last year's report here (p 15 onwards):
http://www.gwk-bonn.de/fileadmin/Papers/GWK-Heft-03-Chanceng...

Further context example:

.... Die Bestandsdaten über den Frauenanteil an Professuren sowie am hauptberuflichen wissenschaftlichen Personal sind – abgesetzt – in die graphischen Darstellungen mit aufgenommen. Als (End-)Punkte einer retrospektiven erlaufsanalyse können sie nicht genutzt werden: Unter den Professorinnen und Professoren sind Personen im Alter von Mitte 30 bis Ende 60 vertreten.

Thanks in advance for your knowledgeable suggestions, found a number of possible translations online, but nothing that I can back up.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Indeed, or perhaps "Trend analysis of career progression/paths". My gut instinct said "trend analysis" too. Just found this page http://www.peridata.org/Suchen_d.htm, which has Trendanalyse and Verlaufsanalyse linking to the same page, which supports the idea that this a synonym as you suggest. Thanks.
