I know that RSZ = Rijksdienst voor Sociale Zekerheid, but what might this be? "Social security wages" gets an amazing number of Googles, but not clear what on earth that is.
Na de tweede wereldoorlog hadden we inderdaad vier (sterkere) stakingsgolven. [...]
De volgende twee stakingsgolven (1976-78 en 1981-83) vonden in veel slechtere omstandigheden plaats. Het waren perioden van stijgende of zeer hoge werkloosheid en van dalende RSZ-lonen.

"These were periods of increasingly high unemployment coupled with low rates of pay in real terms".
This fudges the issue and is not really a solution. Best of luck with the final draft.

Comment: "Points not for your original answer (see my note re client's definition), but for your "fudge" suggestion. I think the idea is "dwindling net wages, as reflected in the Social Security figures". Thanks, everyone! "

DHSS-benefits
Literal translation: RSZ-lonen= Government Department of Social Security.
The word government is not always used because it is general knowledge that a service giving social security is always governmental.
Department of Housing and Social Security= DHSS
