Indonesia's Online Vacancy Outlook (OVO) 2020 could be part

of the labor market information platform that the Ministry of
Manpower will develop. The platform will be used by students, job
seekers, workers and firms for making decisions on education and
training investments, hiring, and beyond. The OVO is one of four
workforce monitoring data tools that the World Bank is piloting to feed
the labor market information platform.
