The weights are obtained through the European Social Survey database, I
suppose many researchers before me have used them. But, I have also wondered
that if in Stata, the weights are the inverse of the probability that the
observation is included, and probabilities should be between zero and 1, the
inverse should have a minimum of 1, shouldn't it?

Most of your weights are < 1, which is a sign of trouble, though
maybe not yours. These observations do not even represent themselves.
