Japanese term or phrase: 社会的扶養
この時期、社会保障関連の審議会では、人口の高齢化による児童の社会的扶養の必要性が強調される

Thanks and feel free to contact me for any more context if needed.

この時期 refers to the 1980s.

This is a document on social and government policy (tax reform, pension reform, laws such as maternity leave and childcare allowance,etc.) in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and how these policies affected womens's issues in postwar Japan.

This sentence is refering to Japan moving toward a western style welfare state where the state (government) provides childcare support to assist the family to care for the child (the family is the primary holder of responsibility, not the state)

to create a social support system
Explanation:
As a first step towards structural reform of the social security to fight these issues, it is important to reorganize the system of long-term care, which is presently broken down into welfare services and medical care services, and to create an efficient and fair social support system.

どちらかというと推測に近いのですが、「社会的扶養」は扶養の制度、つまり社会的制度を確立するという意味ではないでしょうか？

皆さんやKurtさんの訳で良いのではないでしょうか。

社会的扶養
social maintenance; social support


Explanation:
"The necessity of the aging population's support of juvenile social maintenance was stressed in the Social Security Relations Commision at this time."

This sentence feels awkward to me, but I think what they're saying is that the commision was emphasing the importance of the aging population's [political] support for social programs that benefit youth.

...was stressed at the Social Security Council. (Health, Labour and Welfare Ministry)

I am not sure if the document refers to a number of social security-related committees.
