The quality of life is much nicer back home

[Cut!e P!e]

Hi,
I'm not sure if I've got the meaning of this sentence correctly wich is said by an immigrant: "I think the quality of life is much nicer back home".
Does he think QOL is better in his own country ?
Btw, what does this sentence mean : “Quality of life woos migrants back home “?
Thanks a million

It would make life easier for us if you gave us the context.

This is a newspaper headline.

Yes, he thinks that the quality of life is better (as long as he thinks "much nicer" means "better" - it is very likely that he does think that) wherever "back home" is.

Do you know what the verb "to woo" means?

I'm sorry, you're right.
An immigrant is talking about things that he missed the most from his country.

Thanks!
Does it mean "invite" or "tempt" in this context?

Which do you think makes more sense?

:up: Think of the primary meaning of 'woo' - to try to get someone to marry you. Newspapers often use woo in this metaphorical sense because the word is so short (and therefore useful when you're dealing with a small column-width).

Thanks all of you

I guess, invite!
