Should the French subsidiary go tits up, employees will be entitled to unemployment benefits in their country of residence which is not necessarily France even if they paid social security in France.
Let me doubt it. If you pay Social Security in one country, you are entitled to protections in that country. That country might choose to transfer your money to another one, but third countries will not take responsibility when no money has been put in in the system, except for a few exceptions.
