Who are "all those"

Hello, in the quiz related to celui, celle, etc, there is the following question:
Depuis 1945, le système de sécurité sociale est financé par les entreprises et tous ________ qui travaillent en France.Since 1945, the social security system has been funded by businesses and all those who work in France.
I'm confused.. why is ceux the correct answer? Does 'ceux' refer to "all those who work in France" or something else?

Hi John,

In this sentence 'ceux' is 'those' meaning the working people, in other words, what is sometimes called 'the active population' of a country.

I am not sure I am able to see what the problem is so I hope this helps!
